Ease Out / Tuesday, January 8 at APT. Music at 10pm.
If you are in the NYC area next week, we have a really special surprise.
Leroy Burgess, the legendary producer and vocalist, will be joining us at APT for a new night. Leroy is behind some of our favorite club classics from the early 80s like 'Barely Breaking Even', and 'I Know You Will'.
He recorded under many guises (with fellow legends like Patrick Adams and the Aleems) such as Logg, Convertion, Intrigue, Dazzle and Universal Robot Band.
His first success came with the group Black Ivory in the 70s, but he later helped evolve the disco/boogie sound that has gained an hardcore underground following over the last two decades.
Check out the great Anthology on Soul Brother records, focusing both on his vocals (Vol. 1) and his productions (Vol. 2). Here's a little taste.
Tetsuro, the Big Bang and I will play some records as well... Come down and check it out, $5 with RSVP.
Simone got to sit down and talk about the good old days with Leroy.
